T Stands for _________

I feel like I’m hosting Sesame Street or teaching preschool – The letter this week is T!!!

Actually the T represents ~~Turner~~ ~~terrific~~ ~~terrified~~ torture – my 43 today!!! I worked my shoulders by making a T. I held dumbbells (8 pounds for the demo but only 5 pounds for the actual 43) and raised my arms to shoulder height in front of me then slowly moved them to the sides and lowered them. Then I raised my arms out to the sides, slowly moved them to the front and lowered them – see what I mean – TORTURE!!!

It was a hard 43!!! I think I’ve mentioned before -my shoulders are my weakest muscle group!! Hunter was very encouraging – he kept saying “Good job” “5 more” “almost done” – very ~~helpful~~ sweet!!! I’m happy with my decision to just use 5 pounds – when I watched the demo I noticed that I sort-of swung the weights up with the 8 pounds – not cool!!!

After I finished the torturous Ts, I ran: 9 miles in 57:29 at 1.5 incline + 1 mile super easy to cool down

Last night we finally were able to decorate our final tree – the big one in our living room. It is our Santa tree and we always decorate it as a family. Yesterday afternoon I laid all of the ornaments on the dining room table:

Hard to see all of them but I counted as I took them out of the boxes – 233!!! Every year we had a few – usually from places we visit or when I find a super cool one! All of them have some form of Santa except 1 which is just Mrs. Claus in a sleigh and no 2 are alike!

Fun to spend a little extra time all together last night!!!
